I'll still offer the EP as a cheaper download here…

I've had some frustrating  issues where Tunecore, Spotify, Apple, etc, who seem to have a slightly different view of what constitutes a 'single', an 'EP' or an 'album'.

The short and long of it is that I would have…

Yep, we are currently in a holding pattern above planet Tunecore.

The Mortal Orbits EP is done and dusted and was uploaded to my Tunecore account a couple of days ago. I also got the licensing sorted with them…
